Sister Esther’s beauty endears her to the Prayer
Coordinator of the Fellowship, Brother Daniel as well as the President, Brother
William. Both Brothers were too cautious to profess their love. But she loves
Brother Daniel so much that in order to propel him into action she lies that
she has a boyfriend. Daniel has been encouraged by his uncle to meet the
President and confess his love for Esther –following the rules –and he’s
agreed. However, he rethinks after he learns that Esther has a boyfriend. Brother
William then meets Daniel to tell him a secret –that he, the Pastor, has fallen
in love with Sister Esther and the battle begins with the silence in Brother
Daniel’s mouth and noise in his mind.
Esther’s friend, Sister Anita also gets hit by the shots of cupid and she’s
advised by her roommates to tell Brother William that she loves the
money-minded Bible Study Coordinator, Brother Simon; she dares the status quo
that labels a woman who professes love as a whore and she’s ready to face the
consequences. Soon, she falls sick and though she’s oblivious of Brother
Simon’s arrest, her words before she her comatose state indicate that the
Brother Simon is responsible for her sickness. Rumours spread fast. Pregnant?
What a shame –that’s fornication! Division happens fast and passion meets
powers.
Will the battle with Daniel allow Brother William to have time to treat the
case of Sister Anita? Will the sects and rumours in the fellowship not scatter
the sheep? Who has the right to love?This story is the first in the series, Eros & Phileo in Ecclesia.
